MOMENTUM, HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER 317


If the shear stress at the surface isR 0 , the shearing force over areaAis the rate of
change of momentum or:


mus/tDR 0 A and Cp (^0) s/usDq/R 0
WritingR 0 DR, the shear stress acting on the walls andhas the heat transfer coef-
ficient between the fluid and the surface, then:
q/0sDhDR 0 Cp/usDRCp/us or h/CpusDR/u^2
From equation 3.19, the pressure change due to friction is given by:
PD 4 R/u^2 l/du^2 
and substituting from equation 12.102:
PD 4 h/Cpul/du^2 D 4 hu/Cpl/d
The Reynolds analogy assumes no mixing with adjacent fluid and that turbulence
persists right up to the surface. Further it is assumed that thermal and kinematic equi-
libria are reached when an element of fluid comes into contact with a solid surface. No
allowance is made for variations in physical properties of the fluid with temperature.
A further discussion of the Reynolds analogy for heat transfer is presented in
Chapter 12.
